if you're looking at the opc you should maybe compare that more to the golf r.
so my car has been off finance for a few months now and im considering upgrading.
i have a 2007.5 manual sri astra 63k km
my choice is between the current mark6 vw gti OR should i wait till the opc gets confirmed or declined for aus and then make my decision
just the basic specs for both
2012 Astra OPC 206kW/ 400Nm - Manual
VW Golf GTI*155kW/*280Nm - DSG
any input will be valued greatly

past: 2002 SRi Astra & 1985 Holden vk Berlina
Me I would wait.
Picking up a Golf GTi at any time will be easy,there are heaps about.
Or think about a Scirrocco R ?
OPC is confirmed for Aus, but not at initial launch afaik
2013 Ford Focus ST
Calibra - The only car that will institutionalise you and send you broke in the mean time
thanks guys its such a big decisions to bite the bullet and get a turbo powered car or wait it out until something better comes
unfortunately you are wrong, according to the opel-australia website
http://www.opel-australia.com.au/veh...gtc/index.html
GTC is not confirmed, so i would also guess the OPC range is not confirmed either...
Last I heard was a tentative late 2013 release for select OPC models.
"Next year’s Astra GTC OPC was previewed by last year’s piping-hot GTC Paris concept, which was powered by a 2.0-litre twin-scroll turbocharged direct-injection four-cylinder petrol engine with standard idle-stop.
Expect it to join Opel’s Australian line-up by mid-2013 as the headline act of an OPC range that will open with the Corsa OPC hot-hatch and close with the Insignia OPC, which was benchmarked against the Audi S6."
They obviously think they are better off with a single, high performance Astra GTC OPC instead of offering both the GTC AND the GTC OPC.
